t-vim module problems
by Wagner Macedo 14 Jan '12

14 Jan '12

Taking the message about "Syntax highlighting for C-code", I tried to use t-vim module. In that message: Richard Weickelt wrote: > 2) t-vim did not work. It failed somewhere (unknown command sequence > \installspacehandler) on loading (\usemodule[vim]) I can confirm this on latest Beta, downloaded today, ver: 2012.01.12 11:03 MKIV fmt: 2012.1.14 int: english/english. I attached the log file. On my current version (2011.05.18 18:04), I can compile the file, but the code cannot be viewed on generated PDF. The content of file I'm trying to compile is below. % teste.tex \usemodule[vim] \definevimtyping[C][syntax=C] \definevimtyping[ruby][syntax=ruby] \starttext \startitemize \item A hello world example in C \startC #include<stdio.h> int main() { printf("Hello World") } \stopC \item A hello world example in ruby \startruby puts "Hello World" \stopruby \stopitemize \stoptext -- Wagner Macedo

Lucida lVert rVert - no glyph printed
by Daniel Edwards 14 Jan '12

14 Jan '12

Hello everybody, Problem 1: I just notices that (at least for me) the $\lVert$ / $\rVert$ commands print no glyph with Lucida New Math. I search in the source files a bit, and found that in char-def.lua the lVert character is defined as U+02016 but in lucida-math.lfg it is mapped as U+02225. I was only able to reproduce this with context-current because with the beta I got some font-related internal errors when including lucida - but I guess this is another story :) but the two files are identical in those points in current and beta. According to gucharmap U+02225 is the "parallel"-symbol used to denote that eg. two lines are parallel and the U+02016 is the character usually used to denote the norm of a matrix/vector. Solution 1: I changed the entry in lucida-math.lfg from U+02225 to U +02016 and the lVert command produces the right glyph (any glyph at all :). As far as I can say, the spacing is a bit bigger than that of the absolute value $\lvert$ and $\rvert$, but that may be intentional. Just wanted to post this, if anyone has that problem too :) Problem 2: TikZ is not working in context-beta right now. a) When simply doing \usemodule[tikz] you get many errors "Undefined control sequence" for the \active command. I think this happens due some changes in the catc-ini module. I simply redefined \active with the \activecatcode macro and it compiles. b) But even then, parts of the diagram are shifted (see the examples below). I have prepared some minimal examples here: http://www.stud.mathematik.uni-stuttgart.de/~edwarddl/ I use TikZ mainly for drawing such diagramms, as it it relatively easy to use, but I use the current version for that and I simply testes the beta and it seemed not to work. Sincerely, Daniel

\setuppapersize & \externalfigure
by Gerben Wierda 14 Jan '12

14 Jan '12

\externalfigure[foo.pdf][factor=fit] nicely fits the mage on the page. The following snippet: \page\setuppapersize[A4,portrait][A4,portrait] \externalfigure[foo.pdf][factor=fit,orientation=90] behaves like this: the size is set to what fits *before* rotation. The order of orientation and factor does not matter. Is there anything I can do about that? Thanks, G

Error Line Number

Hey folks, I get the following error message when attempting to compile my book, but it doesn't appear to say what file / line number is responsible. Is there a way to turn on file / line error messages, akin to what one sees with gcc? $ context Source/Handbook.tex --result="Handbook.pdf" --purgeresult resolvers | resolving | loading configuration file 'selfautodir:/share/texmf/web2c/contextcnf.lua' resolvers | resolving | loading configuration file '/usr/share/texmf/web2c/contextcnf.lua' mtx-context | run 1: luatex --fmt="/home/kip/.texmf-var/luatex-cache/context/e570cb3e0e3ab0118ca08dd148bbec7d/formats/cont-en" --lua="/home/kip/.texmf-var/luatex-cache/context/e570cb3e0e3ab0118ca08dd148bbec7d/formats/cont-en.lui" --backend="pdf" "Source/Handbook.tex" \stoptext This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.71.0-2011122302 (rev 4358) \write18 enabled. resolvers > resolving > loading configuration file '/usr/share/texmf/web2c/contextcnf.lua' (Source/Handbook.tex ConTeXt ver: 2011.12.31 18:06 MKIV fmt: 2012.1.11 int: english/english system > cont-new.mkiv loaded (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/cont-new.mkiv system > beware: some patches loaded from cont-new.mkiv ) system > Handbook.top loaded (Handbook.top) fonts > latin modern fonts are not preloaded languages > language en is active {/usr/share/texmf/fonts/map/pdftex/context/mkiv-base.map} fonts > preloading latin modern fonts (second stage) (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/type-siz.mkiv) (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/type-otf.mkiv) files > readfile > asked name: 'loc', not found {/usr/share/texmf/fonts/map/dvips/lm/lm-math.map}{/usr/share/texmf/fonts/map/dvips/lm/lm-rm.map} fonts > defining > forced type afm of stmary10 not found fonts > defining > font with asked name 'stmary10' is not found using lookup 'file' fonts > virtual math > loading font LMMath7-Regular subfont 9 with name stmary10.afm at 458752 is skipped, not found fonts > defining > forced type afm of stmary10 not found fonts > defining > font with asked name 'stmary10' is not found using lookup 'file' fonts > virtual math > loading font LMMath9-Regular subfont 9 with name stmary10.afm at 589824 is skipped, not found fonts > defining > forced type afm of stmary10 not found fonts > defining > font with asked name 'stmary10' is not found using lookup 'file' fonts > virtual math > loading font LMMath12-Regular subfont 9 with name stmary10.afm at 786432 is skipped, not found fonts > fallback modern rm 12pt is loaded (Source/Environment.tex resolvers > modules > loaded: 'units' (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/m-units.mkiv< + /usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/x-mathml.lua>) resolvers > modules > loaded: 'simplefonts' (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/third/simplefonts/t-simplefonts.tex loading > ConTeXt User Module / Simplefonts <+ /usr/share/texmf/tex/context/third/simplefonts/t-simplefonts.lua>) fonts > beware: fontclass ignored (if needed use: [fontclass][size][settings]) ) !

Page with minimum margins, maximum text width/textheight
by Gerben Wierda 14 Jan '12

14 Jan '12

How do I create a page with maximum text width, text height? I tried using \setuplayout with stuff like [textwidth=\pagewidth-1cm], but nothing happens. I need empty pages with minimum margins, just to be able to put other PDF's in that space. G

Merging PDF document of various page sizes. Can ConTeXt help?
by Gerben Wierda 14 Jan '12

14 Jan '12

Hello community, I have the following problem. I need to create a single PDF file where each page may have a different size and orientation. Say the first page is A4 portrait, the second is A3 landscape and so on. Can ConTeXr help? Each page contains a PDF image of some random size that is inserted. I have been looking around for a solution but haven't found one. I also tried Create.app, the drawing program. And I tried a program call PDF Merge and some others. Neither of these work, and most of the merge programs out there maybe merged, but changed the nice vector images into pixel images, completely destroying print quality. So, I am back where I started. Is there some fancy ConTeXt trickery I could use to do this? Summary: - One PDF as result - Each page has a different size and orientation - Each page contains a PDF vector image that is not to be converted to pixels Yours, G

footnote mechanism broken (2)
by Steffen Wolfrum 13 Jan '12

Hi, an other strange thing related to footnotes can be seen here: \def\MyNote#1{\switchtobodyfont[12pt]\high{#1}} % <- gives small number %\def\MyNote#1{\switchtobodyfont[13pt]\high{#1}} % <- gives big number \setupnote [footnote] [textcommand=\MyNote] \starttext Hi there!\footnote{I’m a footnote.} \stoptext Please run it with 12pt and also with 13pt: The difference in the number's size is huge, not only 1pt!!

Surprising changes in vers. 2012.01.11
by Steffen Wolfrum 12 Jan '12

Hi, testing the current beta gave me several errors and "Undefined control sequence", for example \showframe (must not be used before \starttext anymore?} but what about \definetolerancemethod[...][...]{...} Is this repleaced or deleted? Steffen
